Herbed Goat Cheese Spread


Looking for a simple appetizer?  I hesitate to post this, because now my secret is out.  Whenever I serve this, people go nuts.  Now everyone will know that it is a no-effort appetizer.  It looks impressive and, thanks to the fresh herbs, tastes fantastic. It would be perfect for any of your holiday parties!

5 oz. goat cheese, softened
1 Tbs. heavy cream
1 tsp. fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp. fresh thyme
1 clove garlic minced

Beat all ingredients.  Place in a serving bowl.  Chill 1-2 hours to allow flavors to blend. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving and allow to come to room temperature.  Serve with crackers, Melba toasts, or vegetable sticks.

Note: 
I used the fresh herbs available in my garden.  Feel free to vary with 3 tsp. of your favorite fresh herbs.
